Thrown out of his crash pad after traveling the West Coast, a young man, David (played by yahn soon (AKA John Balquist), veteran writer/director/actor/musician on LONELINESS IS SOUL, MAISY'S GARDEN, CRASH MY FUNERAL, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE SHAWERMA, THE FIFTH WALL ), hits the streets without money or direction, dragging along his prized possession of a huge sign with his name on it. Fortunately, a little girl (Maya Aguayo Schmidt-Feng), points him to a rooftop where other homeless people have crashed. There he's mistaken for another "David" (the renter everyone in the building has been expecting) and suddenly lands a free apartment and a bunch of new acquaintances. One by one the strange tenants get introduced, including a beautiful, multi-tattooed masseuse who uses a forked "guava tree stick" for "treatments", and two crazed brothers who are Froot Loop junkies. An old girlfriend (played by Meeka Schmalle, LONELINESS IS SOUL, CRASH MY FUNERAL) appears on the scene, and tries to turn David's seemingly aimless life around.
